I love the "Birds Eye" view at the start.👍

[@SeaboardCentral]

Thanks!

[@JohnB9474]

Awesome Tim. All you need is an old fashioned drafting table and a Keuffel and Esser Drafting Arm and you'll be set. Looking forward to part 2.

[@SeaboardCentral]

Thanks! I used to have one years ago. Those were the days.

[@JohnB9474]

@@SeaboardCentral thats why you prefer hand drawing to cad.

[@William-n1b]

Excellent tutorial. Especially liked the coverage on recessing the layout legs. Looking forward to more.

[@SeaboardCentral]

Wow, this was helpful. I'm modeling the late 1970s early 1980s with the Tuscola and Saginaw bay now it is great lakes central railroad but the before the tsby it was the Ann Arbor Railroad the glc has 61 years old the Ann Arbor had 10 GP35s Now Tsby Scrapped 5 so GLC has 5 left they are in service today hauling freight

[@SeaboardCentral]

Thanks! Hope this series helps you out in designing your new plan. Sounds interesting.

[@conrailhbgline]

Awesome walk through! I take it you standardize on 2x4 benchwork sections based on drawings and peninsula?

[@SeaboardCentral]

Thanks! I do 2x4 where I can. But that’s not always the case. One thing about building the layout in sections, it makes it easier to move.

[@JerryHurt-w3f]

Enjoyed the lesson but did cringe when you called an architect’s scale a ruler.

[@SeaboardCentral]

Thanks! Got to get the verbiage down straight. 😁
